Like the shoes on the kid in the top photo, but otherwise he looks like a throwback golf caddy.

I like the hat on the man in the lower photo. However, his shoes need shining. I really don't care where he visited (Florida, London??) and I hope that the rolled trouser trend dies except for snow and rain storms.

I lived in Japan many years ago, the focus for shoes and socks I think stems from a young age- the only area for individual expression, as all schools require a uniform.

I remember incredible socks available for purchase, nothing even close to what was available in north america.

Awesome, so playful. I love that even though the first guys outfit is totally mismatched that the shoes and shirt still go together. I like the clashing prints and fun socks. The second look is nice too, the pants look so comfy.

I'm so excited that you've finally decided to travel to Tokyo, Sart! When I first started reading your blog a few years ago - one of the first thoughts that came to mind was how great this kind of fashion documentation would be in Asia. I was excited to see Australia, but I'm definitely looking forward to the work that you'll do in Japan. All these men have such a unique approaches to fashion -- I especially love the "I <3 London" socks on the second man in this photo. Although it may be considered kitsch in places like Milan or Paris -- I feel like things like that work in Asian cultures... and they pull it off well.

Yay!!! welcome to japan! one of my english students here told me about your blog, i've been following it! love seeing tokyo through your lens! thank you always for the inspiration, i think i am a little better put together because all the beautiful images i see here.
